Synopsis

The new United States in central Germany launches a one-plane raid on Paris. The target: their arch-enemy, Cardinal Richelieu. Mike Steams decides to send a mercenary company to rescue an ambassador from India, held captive in Austria. But the two 17th century officers in command, an Englishman and a Irishman, spend as much time fighting each other as they do the enemy. Mike Spehar's "Collateral Damage" and Chris Weber's "The Company Men" are just two of the stories contained in this second volume of "Grantville Gazette". Among several other stories in this volume is a complete novel by new alternate history star Danita Ewing, "An Invisible War", the new United States founds a medical school in Jena despite resistance from up-timers and down-timers alike. This second volume of "Grantville Gazette" also contains articles exploring the technical background for the 1632 series, including articles on practical geology, telecommunications, and seventeenth-century swordsmanship.
